JOSIAH JEWETT, OF BUFFALO, NEW YORK, ASSIGNOR TO SHERMAN S.

JEWETT & CO., OF SAME PLAGE.

IM PROVEM ENT IN PARLOR-STOVES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 218,674, dated August 19, 1879; applcation'filed March 8, 1879.

To all whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, J osIAH JEWETT, of the city of Buffalo, in the county of Erie and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Parlor-Stoves, of which the following is a specication.

The invention relates to the arrangement of the ilues and ash-pit of a parlorstove.

Heretofore in all stoves having a lower illuminated section the downward flue is taken from the rear of the lire-chamber to the base of the stove, and the ash-pit made to open from the front of the stove. The first method is objectionable, for the reason that, to obtain the necessary space for a downward as well as for an upward flue, whether placed one in front of the other or side by side, increases the proportions of the rear of the stove, so as to make it appear clumsy, at the same time I adding materially to the weight of the stove and to the cost of manufacturing.

- The method of opening into the ash-pit from the front of the stove is objectionable, for the reason that the said opening and the necessary doors to cover the same are more prominent-ly brought to view than when placed at the side of the stove.

The object of my invention is to produce a parlor-stove with the downward flue, which, from its peculiar location, will increase the radiation, and at the same time increase the heating power of the base of the stove, and perform its work easier and more simply than by the old method.

The invention consists in certain constructions, combinations, and arrangements of parts of a parlor-stove, kas hereinafter described and specifically claimed, whereby the products of combustion may be taken directly from the combustionchamber downward at the front of the stove, emptying into a horizontal base-line occupying the whole area of the base, and located under the ash-pit,`the said tlues, together with the rear flue, surrounding the ash-pit on three sides; and it also consists in supplying the front flue, where it passes the lower illuminated section, with mica walls, for the purpose of transmitting the illumination from the burning fuel.

In the accompanying drawings, in which similar letters of reference indicate like parts,

Figure l is a vertical centrall section taken from front to rear. Fig. 2 is a perspective of the lower portion of the stove. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the part or plate indicated by dotted lines a a. Fig. 4 is a plan view of the part or plate indicated by the dotted lines b b. Fig is a plan view of the bottom of the stove indicated by the dotted lines c c.

The damper F being closed, the products of combustion passing from the tire-pot A follow the direct-ion of the arrows directly downward through the iiue B to the base O, and through the base-flue J, striking the flue-strips and following. the direction given by them, as shown in Fig. 5, passing to the rear ilue, D, and upward to the exit E.

The line B passing between the outer wall of the stove and the point of illumination at the base of the re-pot A, the rear wall, K, of the said flue is provided withA openings, to be supplied with mica, as indicated by dotted lines, so as to reflect through the said flue, and not interfere with the illumination of that section of the stove.

The ash-pit G is arranged with doors open ing out of the side of the stove instead of from the front.

I am aware that prior to my invention parlor-stoves have been made with a front vertical flue or flues, connecting with an annular flue, and also with downward lues at each front corner, and also with a flue entirely surrounding the fire-pot; and I am also aware that hotair dues have been made with their inner and outer walls constructed of mica; and Iam also aware that cooking-ran ges have been made with mica dues, to none of which do I lay claim.

1. The combination, in a parlor-stove, of the downward front vertical flue, B, with the horizontal base flue J, rear flue, D, and transversely-disposed ash-pit G, as herein fully set forth and described.

2. The downward front vertical flue, B, having illuminated front and rear walls, substan tially as herein shown and described.
